Man, I loved the original Zambezi Zinger, and this new coaster looks like so much fun! This is exactly what they needed, and we are definitely making plans for Worlds of Fun next year.4 points

I feel like maybe we were on the same page, with a miscommunication. *Off topic* But, I disagree with one point. Saint Louis is a shithole. I live here. It is FAR from a wonderful city. Crime rates, depression, happiness, infrastructure... Aside from a decent handful of attractions for tourists and locals, it's a nice place to visit, but a bad place to live. We rarely go downtown, and we leave the general Saint Louis area by mid-afternoon. You have to be selective and smart about where you go, and what routes to take. Building wonderful zoo's doesn't take away from the cancer that continuously spreads from the inner city, going north and east. It crosses the river into one of the most dangerous areas in the country being East Saint Louis. People keep moving further and further away from the city, just to get away from the growing chaos. Remember, we were the beginning of the nationwide anti-police riots. It didn't escalate because it was in a sleepy area. It escalated, because it was already in a war zone, and the incident was a spark to make the fire. I just started a job with a 10k pay cut away from the North Saint Louis area. It's a nicer bedroom community, because it's more isolated. It chooses to have no entertainment district draw to bring people in. There's no draw for non-locals. It's where we're moving in a couple years. The problem with my old job is that North Saint Louis came right across our bridge into Illinois, and made a bad town much worse. Kind of like when a soccer mom is driving home, and has a handful of criminals jump out and point AR rifles in her face trying to take her car. They came from right across the bridge, and went right back. The same place they come from when they steal cars, or play shoot-em-up on the weekends in the bar district. 20 years ago it hadn't made it this far, but it's there now. My boots are on the ground here, so don't tell me otherwise. *End rant.2 points

As much as people hate Six Flags, you would think that they would be happy to watch this guy burn the whole enterprise down.2 points

I swear every post I see from you kills more brain cells in my head. Also, for the love of all that is holy, use the multiquote.1 point

how nice you can show your ignorance again. . . . SFFT . . you are SO completely incorrect, that being right is not only in Greek to you, but it's in an unbreakable code. 1st park to get FreeSpin, one of only two parks in the chain with Premier Spaghetti Bowl, the first park in the world to get RMC Single Rail Coaster (and the 1st park to have two RMCs), the 1st park to get a 7 across B&M Dive Coaster, one of the 1st two parks to get the giant Pendulum - and the ONLY one to get a themed indoor queue for it. oh. . lets see. . how else are you wrong? SFFT is absolutely a destination park - with SWSA right up the loop, and the Alamo, Riverwalk, and San Antonio Zoo in the area as well - not to even bring up the only wooden shuttle coaster in the world less than 40 minutes away in Sequin? Yup. . . it's absolutely a destination, multi day stay in the San Antonio Area, and SFFT is a big part of that. you're so wrong about so much, I just keep waiting for you to be correct about at least one or TWO things (even a broken clock is correct twice a day)1 point

I can understand that. In my early 20's the city seemed more innocent. I visited nice areas, and the blinders were secured firmly to my face. There are very fun areas in the city, but the raiders are always paying visits. I'm 37 now, and I've seen a lot. The lawlessness has exploded since 2014. When I do to take my family into the city, I do so with law abiding protection and I'm always alert.1 point

... why would they be in the parking lot lol. If theyre in the parking lot they would only be there to go to the park, which they cannot afford, so... why would they be in the parking lot?1 point

You can keep them out of the park, but you can't keep them from shooting people in the parking lot.1 point

I think I’ve finally convinced my husband to go to KI with me (he hates coasters), but his stipulation is turkey legs. Yknow, like the big giant ones you get at renaissance festivals. I know the park has them around winterfest, but are they a year round thing? We’re looking at going as soon as next weekend if they do because he’s that dedicated to this task, plus I’ve not been since Firehawk’s last year. Any pointers in the right area even if not in the park but nearby would be appreciated!1 point

The issue I have with this is paying more equates better (behaved) customers and that is just not the case. I guarantee that if you asked anyone to pick and they will pick the 100 option over the 2 dollar option, especially if it's for a family of 4. Part of the problem is making assumptions about people, specifically people we consider poor and feel they are the first to cause problems in parks. You simply cannot price people out because people will afford what they feel they can and should. Plenty of people are being exposed to more things due to these influencers parks.places themselves affording more visibility. Even homeless people have smart phone with internet. When it comes to six flags parks, I feel it will take a lot, i mean A LOT to overhaul the experience. WE are talking about a chain that literally throws roller coasters on top of parking lots an call it a day, but then wonder why they attract "bad" customers. From removing asphalt to overhauling food choices to limiting attendance/pass sales. Go back to the original reason the parks were made, to be unique an celebrate the history of wherever the park is, the 6 flags that ruled the area. Of course that can't be done outside the original parks but every area has history, tap into it. Bottom line, give people something to respect and they are less likely to treat your park like the thunderdome or a glorified babysitter. But to sum it up, you can't out price derelicts.1 point

I think it's pretty clever and cool idea to pay tribute to the ride, but also do something totally unique. So many people complain about cookie cutter Six Flags coasters: and here we have something original AND it looks like fun, with airtime1 point

I can’t even make sense of what’s going on here, but everyone chill out. It’s not that serious.1 point

If you think Timber Wolf is rough now, good thing you didn't ride it a couple years ago before the near complete retrack.1 point
